Hold on... The only time Drew's in trouble is pressure up the middle. He moves up so well that guards are more important than Tackles.

No one is denying that, but we have two top 10 guards right now. If you want to add some depth sure, but in this ridiculous mock its unfathomable to think the saints would pass on some of the defensive talent available, or Lane Johnson who has the highest ceiling out of the top 3 tackles, especially when we don't have one right now.

His worst games have been when teams got consistent pressure off the edge. He's the best at stepping up in the pocket, but we already have one of the best interior lineman groups in the NFL between Grubbs, Evans, and DLP.

I'm all for getting a good tackle in here, protect the $100 million man

It's not the only time. Yes he's able to move around well, and it's much worse up the middle, but there have been games where pressure from the outside (Rams 11, Chiefs 12) have killed us. We've found ways to mitigate our poor tackle play (with screens, quick passes, moving the pocket and chipping), but if there's one of the 3 top LT's on the board at 15, I pray the Saints take him.
